On the game:
It was a good, solid game. Getting the first goal is huge. It does a lot for us and first periods are important, especially on the end of a long road trip. Pretty solid throughout, our PK was big, especially late in the game, made some big saves. Solid round, solid game, solid road tri... Read More
